Luxury carmaker Bentley has launched the Bentayga EWB Azure model in India with a price tag of Rs. 6 crore (ex-showroom). The ultra-luxurious Azure variant features rear 'Airline Seats', automatic soft-closing doors, 'Deep Pile Over' mats covering the entire floor, and a premium Naim sound system. The SUV draws power from a potent 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged, V8 petrol engine.

- When it was showcased in May last year, the Extended Wheelbase (EWB) version was said to replace the flagship Bentley Mulsanne.
- It is one of the most expensive SUVs in the world.

The Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure retains the overall design of the regular model and sports a lengthy muscular hood, a rectangular chromed grille, circular LED headlamps with crystalline jewel-like DRLs, and a wide air dam. On the sides, the SUV is flanked by ORVMs, roof rails, flared wheel arches, and 22-inch chromed alloy wheels. Oval-shaped LED taillights and quad exhaust tips grace the rear.
